The Process

So often people ask us, "How long does it take to make a piece of pottery?" In an attempt to answer this question we always tell people about the various steps of pottery making. We feel that pictures may be clearer than words. Illustrated here is the process of making an Acoma pot. We are indebted to Franklin Peters of Acoma pueblo who shared with us his time, material, skill, and good humor. His pottery can be seen here.
